Title: oo-Jyoshikousei no Shuchou (Highschool Girl XX's Declaration)
Words: Tsunku
Music: Tsunku

Because I left a little early,
the trains are mostly empty
the scenery seems a bit different
looks like I did something right.
Oh Mom, jumping to conclusions
I don't need a lunchbox today

In between changing trains,
I go to the newsstand, pretending to be all grown up
I buy a fashion magazine,
the time when I wait for the usual gang
I thought about stuff
about my future.

the girls have all gathered,
phones in hand
talking 'bout the drama they watched yesterday
and the fight they had with their boyfriend

once we start having more fun conversations
the previous mood
up and disappears
I don't know if this is what I want
but us high school girls
just follow others lead.

eventhough I think I'm different
when others look at me,
I wonder if they think so?
I don't know if this is what I want
but I too have a dream,
A dream I'm sure I'll fulfill one day!
